  • Blue

    —

    As you can see (and if you can’t, hit the refresh button in your browser), I’ve changed things some more. I’d probably call this latest change a skin more than anything else, as I’ve just made changes to the CSS (and the graphics) but haven’t touched the structure. I got tired of the green and…

  • Tapes

    —

    As I was walking around Aoyama the other day, I passed what looked like somekind of production studio, and they had these piles of tapes laying out in front of the door outside, probably waiting to get picked up.

  • Street Fashions

    For those looking for pics of street fashions in Japan, the following links were suggested by someone in a comment thread: Street Imagination, Street Mini Style, and Cazicazi.net. Edit: And here’s another one.

  • An Afternoon in Aoyama

    —

    I head out the door a bit early (well, anything before noon is early for me) to have lunch with Lil in Aoyama. After a delicious lunch in the Spiral building, we hit the Spiral gift shop, as well as the special calendar shop they’ve setup at the entrance. Before seperating, she lends me her…

  • Dobekkosu

    —

    Late last night we had a craving for ramen, and decided to check out a new-ish shop we’d spotted a while back but hadn’t gotten around to visiting yet. Dobekkosu, a shop specializing in tonkotsu ramen, is situated not far from Sunshine Street in Ikebukuro (walk down it, then turn right at the first street…
